Ukraine's SBU security service has uncovered a network of 12 agents spying for Russia, focusing on identifying the locations of Western-supplied F-16 fighter jets and air defense systems across the country. The agents, working for Russian military intelligence, attempted to gather information about the whereabouts of Ukraine's F-16 jets, which are kept at secret military airfields. The SBU also reported that these agents conducted reconnaissance operations on the firing positions of Ukraine's air defense systems and sought information on companies producing electronic warfare equipment to counter drones. The operation spanned five regions, with the group's leader based in the Dnipropetrovsk region, passing information to a Russian handler. The SBU has detained several individuals involved and published images of some of the suspects.
